I try to keep mine as small as possible just out of courtesy to viewers who are syncing up a large list of feeds to portable devices like the iPod or PSP.
Thankfully in most cases, those devices are now coming with very large capacity. The PSP however still has fairly limited storage – but none the less people are using the new PSP media management software to subscribe and sync up vlogs. I think the best way to judge it is to have in mind a video quality standard you want to maintain and then do everything you can on filesize at that quality. I'm still having a few troubles finding a nice middle ground. 20-25MB seems pretty standard, I think … though I have gotten nice clips in the 10-15 range … - Dave http://www.davidmeade.com On 11/8/05, Andreas Haugstrup Pedersen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The main thing is length not file size.
